Kells, Co. Meath. This is the famous Market Cross. From the nearby plaque: "This 9th century high cross, the cross of the gate of the Kells monastary, is one of five high crosses still surviving in Kells. The cross of the gate, currently at or ner its original site, was a termon cross and signified that a fugitive could claim sanctuary once inside the boundary of the monastic area.
The carved faces of the high crosses depict scenes from the Old and New Testament and were used primarily for the religious instruction of the faithful. These scenes may have originally been coloured.
Local believ has it that the cross was also used for hanging Croppies (Catholics?) after the 1798 rebellion.
